Now that we’ve got everything that we need, it’s time to make a healthy and refreshing drink!

Next, simply put the Camote Tops in a clean pot then pour about 1 liter of water. Place the pot on a stove, turn on the heat, and let the mixture boil. Once it comes to a boil, turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down for a while.
Finally, once the Camote Tops mixture becomes cool enough, pour the juice on a pitcher and make sure to strain excess bits of the Camote Tops. Then just add some sweetened honey and lemon juice to top it all off! Just mix everything up, add some ice, and you’re good to go!
